enSF Civic Center escalators -WTF?http://bartrage.com/node/3994
<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Half of the escalators at Civic Center in San Francisco are down. Some have been down for weeks. The down escalator to the platform at the Grove Street entrance has been out of service for almost 2 months. C&#039;mon, are parts really that hard to find?</p>

BART paid pennies.http://bartrage.com/node/3992
<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I was riding the BART escalator at the Richmond Station, which was packed with commuters and it stopped abruptly. I tripped down multiple stairs and strained my back per the ER. I filed a claim and BART and after 4 months BART&#039;s claim adjuster gave me a offer of pennies, stating that the incident was, &quot;a case of questionable liability. While the escalator may have stopped abrupt enough for you to fall, the escalator was still within the code compliance.&quot; The amount only covered my doctor&#039;s visits and my time off from work. </p>
<p>I was told that the investigation was centered in two areas. One being the maintenance of the involved escalator and the other is determining the extent and claim settlement value of your injury claim. </p>
<p>Any Richmond rider knows that the escalators are down more than up. After my injury the escalator was down the weeks of 5/4, 5/11, 5/20 - 5/22 and finally a sign was posted that it would be down from 5/22 - 6/7. The stairs were completely replaced and since then, the escalator has been down again.</p>
<p>BART own up, your escalators are not within compliance.</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>on Feb 10,14 I was coming down the escalator and I heard a loud clank like something broke a second later the escalator suddenly stopped. I was thrown forward I held on to the rail to break my fall. the agent asked me if I was ok and rushed and blocked off the bottom and the top. I asked him what had happened his reply was "I don't know sometimes they just stop. Bart PD came and took a report and also the agent. the agent called a ambulance. and I was taken to the emergency were xrays showed that I had trauma to my neck shoulders and lower back. I was taken off work for a month and since the incident I have had to go to the emergency for a severe neck and shoulder spasms I have been going to the doctor where they have stated to give injections in my neck.<br />
I am going to file a claim in a couple of days(By Aug 9 ) should I get a lawyer or small claim court.</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Yesterday, I'm walking into Montgomery behind some BART workers, one of whom said the escalators were all broken because they can't take the exrement from homeless shitting on the escalators moving stairs. Wonderful. Feel sorry for the escalator guys who have to clean that crap up. Can't BART do something about this or does BART love paying for these recurring broken escalator issues. I thought the homeless were just pee'ing how gross to hear number 2 is the real problem with the BART escalators.</p>
<p>It must just be MISERABLE working for BART in some occupations.</p>

<p>http://bartrage.com/node/856#comment-9556</p>
<p>BARTEmp, asked if I filled out any comment cards. This got me to thinking. I've been commuting for four years on bart now and I've never seen a comment card. I don't even know what one looks like. So, this morning in the San Bruno station I walked around the agents booth and looked for the comment cards - nothing. No, I didn't ask the agent where they were. I figured that they should be in plain sight. I walked around the kiosks on the agent floor and the platform - nothing. Ok so San Bruno doesn't have any comment cards - I'll try Montgomery. I checked the kiosks on the platform as I exited the train - nothing. I went to the agents booth upstairs - the agent asked "May I help you?" I said no thanks just reading the information that's around your booth - again nothing. Hmm. Did I just happen to hit two stations that are out of cards? Does that seem impossible? Were they right in front of me and I just didn't see them? Should they have been in a box clearly marked COMMENT CARDS? </p>
<p>You know I have attachment - C'mon it's me :)</p>
<p>By the way I wasn't about to take pics of the agents booth. Both booths had Bart cops in them.</p>
